It was a truism that all civilizations were basically neurotic until they made contact with everybody else and found their place within the ever-changing meta-civilisation of other beings, because, until then, during the stage when they honestly believed they might be entirely alone in existence, all solo societies were possessed of both an inflated sense of their own importance and a kind of existential terror at the sheer scale and apparent emptiness of the universe.

Bench press 300x5, 310x4, 320x3, 330x2, 340x1, 360x1, 380x1

Back-off set 300x3

Right elbow is still feeling off. This is nothing new. However, it also hurts when I'm trying to go to sleep, which has never happened before.

Pulldowns 10-8-6-5-5

Standing BTN press 135x5, 145x5, 155x5, 165x3, 175x2

Barbell curl 10-8-6-5-5, then reverse curl 3s x 5

DB lateral raise x 2 sets

6 March 2017

Pull 395x5, 415x4, 435x3, 445x2, 455x1, 475x1

Stiff-legged pull 2s x 5

8 March 2017

SlingShot bench press 335x5, 345x4, 355x3, 370x2, 385x1, 395x1

Incline bench press 6-5-4-3-3-2

I always plan to do 5-4-3-2-1 on inclines too, but never figure out the weights correctly. Also working up to a single on the incline bench press feels stupid for some reason.

Could not get to a seated row machine (either of the two) due to overcrowding, so I just did a few pullups after every pressing set (including warmups) until I couldn't do more than 1-2. Got in around 10-12 sets.

DB curls 10-8-6-5-5

Cable pushdowns 4s x 15-20

Preacher curl machine x 4 strip sets

12 March 2017

Bench press 300x5, 310x4, 320x3, 335x2, 345x1, 365x1, 380x1

Pulldowns 10-8-6-5-5

Standing BTN press 135x5, 155x4, 165x3, 175x2, 155x5

Barbell curl 10-8-6-5-5, then reverse curl 3s x 5

Tricep pushdowns on assisted dip/pullup machine 4s x 12

Got this exercise from a John Meadows video. You get into a close-grip dip position on the foot bar and press away. Pretty good pressing angle, but most assisted dip machines don't have enough weight for this purpose.
